Dry leaves crunched underneath her feet as she walked across the path towards the lake, leaving her sleeping companions behind around the smoking campfire. The wind tickled the hem of her robes, letting the fabric flow smoothly. Taking a deep breath, she looked up at the night sky and smiled at the glowing moon. The moon seemed to have smiled back, almost as if Princess Yue was communicating with her.
With confidence, she brought her arms up and willed the water in front of her to move. She whipped it, splashed it, froze it, melted it, and did everything possible with the water. It was easier, now, with the moon at its peak, hovering above her.
"Hey,"
Katara let the water fall from her hands and turned around.
"Sorry, did I wake you?"
Aang shook his head. "Mind if I join you?"
"Sure," Katara smiled again, and brought her arms up once more.
Yay for updating and waterbending at night.
